Traffic data plays a fundamental role in assessing demand on our transportation networks. Road asset management, transport planning, transport and environmental policy decisions all rely on accurate and robust traffic data. However, recent benchmarking as part of the Road Efficiency Group initiatives shows current and comprehensive traffic data is still one of the biggest areas of improvement required for data quality. This training will assist road controlling authorities in obtaining an efficient traffic monitoring programme and reliable estimate updates for their network. The benefits are improved data to base sound evidence based investment decisions.
